"This was a last-minute booking for me, and it worked out great! The price was affordable, and the rooms were large and very very clean. The large fridge and microwave were a great plus. The Wi-Fi didn't seem to work, and there is no air flow even with the window open so it can get stuffy in warmer weather. The walls were very thin, so if noise from other units bothers you I would keep that in mind when booking."
